So looking at the new Jaina Proudmore statue and it is a VERY poor representation of the character. I’m not sure who approved this new statue, but they need to play the game and see what she looks like.
Jaina Proudmore is not Asian. The statue reminds me of anime characters and not even a female anime character. It looks like they took one of the male anime characters face and put it on Jaina’s body.
Blizz… you really need to rework this new statue and make it actually look like Jaina Proudmore. This is a disgraceful representation of a main character.

Doesn’t look Asian to me. Looks like she’s narrowing her eyes. Bone structure is quite clearly northern European.
She doesnt looks like asian to me, looks like Michael Jackson tbh.

lol… yeah… it does in a way
At least the other statues have a decent resemblance to the character. This one… fail
I like it actually! Very detailed and nicely done. Is the face a perfect match for the cartoons, no. But close enough!
Reminds me of the cartoon Aeon Flux
So, are we all going to quit this game because of this?
Not concerned about a perfect match, just stating that it doesn’t appear to me, to be close. If you look at Sylvanas, they got pretty darn close on that one along with the other ones they have done.
I do agree, they details are great, just making the comment about the facial features that don’t match.

When I first saw it, I agreed. The longer I stared at her, and then when she winked at me… I was like… whaaaaaaaa??? then I saw it! it was her!
I’m Nord.
That statue ain’t no kin of mine.
You don’t like Samurai Jaina?
so… is this supposed jaina in CGI quality?
welcome… jaina bushido…i didn’t know that she was asian.
Sigh.
i hope they change her face to an actual ingame representation so i can buy it.

Quite possible… the reason I say ‘Asian’ is in regards to anime’s. In which my kids show me all the time. There are a few male characters they have shown me that look nearly identical to the statue facial features. Jaina has a more round face and larger eyes. Squinting could account for that, but it doesn’t account for the lack of roundness and the nose. Just my interpretation though.
I would post a side by side I made, but can’t figure out how you did that in yours
Haven’t played Horde in forever… but was going to get this statue. Now its just waiting and seeing if I can get over the lack of resemblance to a key character.
Well, to give a better example of what I’m talking about:

Jaina’s had like eight faces over the course of World of Warcraft so I can’t help but find comments like “Nope, doesn’t look like her” pretty funny. Her face in-game is highly cartooned; her face on this statue actually looks like it might be a live human being.
